Select Cable
The Select Cable page lists entries by ID, Cable
Name, and Cable Fill. The list can display a maximum
of 25 entries. Only the cables from the selected Cable
Book will be available for selection in test screens.
Also, only cables from the CableBookSettings can be
edited or deleted.

Gauge) units or mm (metric wire size).

Cable Fill is the type of material the cable is
filled with: Aircore, Jelly, Pulp, 5 PR, or 2 PR.

Capacitance T-R/A-B specifies a value for the
capacitance per length constant.

Capacitance T/R to GND/A/B to E specifies a
value for the capacitance per length to ground
constant.

Resistance specifies a value for the resistance
constant of the cable.

Attenuation @ 300 kHz specifies a value for
the reduction in signal strength or insertion loss
of the cable.

VOP Ratio is the velocity of propagation for the
cable as a ratio of the speed of light

VOP Percentage is the velocity of propagation
for the cable as a percentage of the speed of
light

VOP V/2 m/µs is the velocity of propagation for
the cable in m/µs divided by 2

Temperature specifies the temperature of
reference at which all cable parameters have
been measured, in either ⁰F (Fahrenheit) or ⁰C
(Celsius) units. The measurement units are
updated based on the Temperature settings in
